Two-Step Fastening
Two-step fastening will be used primarily for joints that have a requirement to synchronize
with another spindle during the final stage of the rundown or require joint conditioning. Ex-
amples: Connecting Rod, Main Bearing Cap, any multiple-spindle application.
1. Once SPEED CHANGE TORQUE is reached or FREERUN REVOLUTIONS expires, the sys-
tem will switch from FREERUN SPEED to SLOWDOWN SPEED and continue to fasten to
1ST TORQUE.
2. The system will fasten to the 1ST TORQUE value during the specified 1ST TIME. 1ST
TORQUE must be reached within the 1ST TIME limits or a reject will occur.
3. Upon reaching 1ST TORQUE, 1ST TIME ends and FINAL TIME begins. 1ST TORQUE is
the shift point to TORQUE SPEED and the synchronization point prior to commencing the
next step. (See 4.13 for Sync. info)
4. The system will fasten to STANDARD TORQUE using TORQUE SPEED during FINAL TIME.
STANDARD TORQUE must be reached within the FINAL TIME limits or a reject will occur.
